So sorry to hear – it is very hard. Go ride your bike and good luck.

Trekster – Tues will prob be Inners or Natural stuff. Will keep you posted.

MM you have no idea of the circumstances – things aren't always as they might appear.
Come home Sharki (Never met but sentiment is the same)

If it's not been paid for i'd talk to her. Good luck!

Could be – depends on dates (And only if you don't mind me being slow on the uphills)

😯

Went out yesterday in the pouring rain to ride seriously muddy natural stuff – was great – think you just get used to it!

I quite like the sound of me giggling when i just got away with something that could have gone badly wrong 🙂

Off Mon/Tues Trekster 🙂

That's a pretty heavy schedule!

It is very rough mostly but that's it's character – think you just have to embrace the fact that it is different.

I did it recently on my hardtail and was fine but i hear it can be energy sapping if very wet.

So sad but you were there for him and that's what is important.

Wowee

Black ones 🙄

Rode there Saturday – not raining but still got soaked! 🙂

Mate just said it was pretty hard going with lots of trees down – he only got to top fire road 🙁

That guy in red was on a bike for the 5th time! He did exceptionally well.

Oh yes of course there is another way.
When you have finished all your riding at Gt go out of the entrance – turn left onto main road then just opposite the Glentress Hotel is a track – go down there follow it round – through 2 gates will eventually lead you to Cardrona turn right to take you onto back road (Quiet) to Inners.

Hels doesn't know it 🙂 well not when we tried last time!

Does my arse look big in that?

5 10's and wool socks 🙂

There is yet another way which i can tell you but haven't done it – black to mast then turn left straight after onto a fireroad then first right and follow track all the way – takes you out onto the Granites (However the farmer at the bottom isn't keen )

You can for so far then you hit the river. There is a plan to reinstate the bridge but not sure when funding will be available.

Gypsy Glen would be a bit of an extreme route!:-)

What Alasdair Mc said (There is another way but i'd have to kill you :-))

How lovely !

🙂

Wot Duggie said

Well wont you be riding anyway????

You could always use some shin protection?

Innerhaven at Innerleithen

🙂

Franks for me too – probably a bit late now though 🙂

Yes i was wondering that too ……

Just hope it stays Kev – think of all the fun you'd be missing!:-)

Really nice people who know the area very well.

Wot Druidh said – ahhh

Aye Paul 🙂

Shewee – why?

Was rather busy 🙂

Drumlanrig – ACE.Lovely natural feel. Ridden the red in the wettest conditions and was fine. Not sure how i'd manage the black in the wet though 🙂 Nice challenge.
